Camarones Municipal Campsite | Established Campground

March 23rd, 2024 by twowilddogs

As others have stated, there has been a price increase.
Although we were charged a local price. Seems like a smile can help you negotiate.
We paid $15000ARS $17USD for 2 people and a tent.
Has ele electricity and lighting at each camp site.

Visitamos el lugar muchas veces desde hace 20 años. Las instalaciones no han cambiado considerablemente pero las tarifas se han elevado de manera exagerada. Además, solo admiten pago en efectivo y, en el lugar, es dificil hacerse del dinero ya que los bancos limitan las extracciones. Una lástima la politica de la actual concesión que expulsa a los visitantes. No solo por el aumento de tarifas sino tambien, que hayan decidido arancelar todo tipo de prestaciones como los bancos y las mesas que se cobran aparte! asi como plus x auto, camper Y/o Casa Rodante! ya no volveremos mientras continúen estas medidas. Existen muchos lugares de campamento libre y agreste. El Parque Patagonia Azul, cercanos a la localidad, tambien cuenta con campings gratuitos. Por estas razones, desaconsejamos el lugar.

If you only want to have a hot shower, no time limit, it costs 2,000.

Unfortunately this has to be our first negative review of a campsite in Argentina. This campsite seems to have "new prices" (you can see the official price list in the photos). Camping for foreigners costs 16800 p.p. per night and the fee for a van is 12500 per night. So the total price for 2 people with a vehicle would be 46100 pesos per night for a rather dusty camp site with very limited leveled parking spots.
It's obviously a scam and when we refused to pay the "tarifa extranjera" we were told we can pay the "tarifa nacional", which still seems to be highly inflated, considering reviewers paid 4000 pesos for 2 people and a van exactly one month ago and we had to pay 15000!

The facilities are ok, pretty old but clean.

We would recommend staying at one of the many wild camping spots in the area unless you desperately need a camp site but then make sure to negotiate.

Unfortunately, also this campsite changed there prices significantly. The price for foreigners is now 16 800 pesos per person and this is even without paying for the car separately. We were pretty disappointed since it is quite a detour as well. The super friendly guy from the campsite offered us to pay the national price, which is still 5600 pesos per person excluding the car of 3000 pesos. We found a cute accommodation instead which was 15 000 pesos total (Alojamientos Macarena: +54 297414294). For us it made more sense to stay at an accommodation for the same price. The wind was to strong for us to stay at the free campsite (no facilities).

Really recommend this camping! Very relaxed. Plenty of space. Hot showers, place to wash plates, barbecue spots, electricity - the usual, but clean and nice. You have a nice view to the water and the town is nice to walk around. Veerry quiet :)

One of best campsite we have been in Argentina. Everything is perfect. 4000 for 2 and truck.

November 26th, 2023 by Minibulle.com

Very friendly welcome, basic but clean and inexpensive campsite.

November 8th, 2023 by senhoresdaaventura

Muito bom o camping! A beira do mar, churrasqueira, banho limpos, ducha quente, muito cordiais.

October 21st, 2023 by viajandoavidaa2

Ficamos duas noites aqui, campinho bom, muito tranquilo, banheiros limpos porém não tem água quente nas duchas femininas. Aquecimento de caldeira no masculino água quente não dura muito mas foi ok.

October 20th, 2023 by kargolator

Currently the price is 4000 pesos for 2 people and 1 vehicle. The men toilets was flooded, the women showers were unusable. Only the men showers got some heating and hot water. There is wifi around the reception, the Claro signal is very weak. The responsible is a nice guy and it is in front of the beach.

October 10th, 2023 by ueda_cesar

1.000 ars pra um casal e o carro.

Excellent camping on the beach, simple but very clean. Hot water, sink to wash things, barbecues and wi-fi
Juan was very friendly.
1,000 ars for a couple and the car.

September 3rd, 2023 by _to_indo

Ficamos apenas uma noite, super tranquilo silencioso.
Tem água, energia e wi-fi e cobraram por duas pessoas e o motorhome ARS 1.000

April 19th, 2023 by andylop848

Very nice campground and cheap, 400pp and 200 for the van. Wifi at the reception, some sheltered places.

March 9th, 2023 by mborduin

By far the nicest campground we have stayed in in three months in Argentina for the price. Some improvements have been made since the last check-in:
1. They have wi-fi! It works by the office, barely at our campsite, as usual.
2. New sinks and toilets: comments on "old and dated" still apply to the buildings. Everything was very clean when we arrived (off season).
3. We stayed here for two nights, 250 pesos per camper, 400 pesos per person.

December 31st, 2022 by instagram.com/reisevieling

We stayed here for two calm nights. 1050 pesos for two adults with motor home. Very close to the beach/harbour. Facilities are old but clean.

November 10th, 2022 by jlgjeanlouis

nc Azimut 270: out of season only 3 or 4 campers beautiful pitches and well located sanitary facilities dilapidated but clean correct price

February 5th, 2022 by Wendy & Graham

Very nice. Beautifully located on the oceanside. Cool breeze but not too windy. 700pesos per night for 2 plus motorhome. Potable water. Spacing is a bit tight and it was hard to find a level place. Cleaned at least twice per day. Lots of campers on a Saturday night but Alberto silenced the boom-boom music group.

February 3rd, 2022 by adiantes

Still a good place for a stop.
We stayed here for one night - clean and hot showers, flat places for parking the RV.
It is in front of the sea, but well protected from the wind.
We payed 820 pesos for two + the car with roof tent.

January 15th, 2022 by mailanddrive

cheapest camping I visited so far (apart from free ones): 270 pp per night, tent 140
good shower, no Wifi, bad Movistar internet, restaurant prices are ok as well

October 30th, 2021 by ronnyviaje

Lugar limpio y ordenado, no hay wifi y no anda movistar ni personal para datos móviles solamente para llamar y mensajes

March 6th, 2020 by herdinglittlepeople.com

Decent campsite for a night. Hot water, secure and spacious with good room for larger vehicles. Potable water, washing area and clean toilets. Can be a little dusty but protected from the wind largely.

February 8th, 2020 by esmeralda.life

Nice campground as described by others. We arrived at heavy rain so driving out to wild camping towards the Pinguin reserve was not an option for the night.
paid 510 pesos for 2 people in a truck camper.

February 4th, 2020 by ameibinns

Clean bathrooms, hot showers, view of the sea. Kike and José, the managers, have big hearts and helped me with mental and practical support when my car was in a sorry state. I felt at home

January 3rd, 2020 by h.g.stubley

big campsite it's clean and there is hot water at the shower the price now is 350 for one night one person and a Moto there is no WiFi neither so a fairly dear camping experience

December 16th, 2019 by janine_schmid

Came to stay for one night but in the end three nights at this beautiful place. We liked Camarones a lot and the camping is very nice. Paid 540 for two people, car included, for the first night. Then 340 for each night for both persons. Nice camp manager, very clean bathrooms, nice hot showers. Still no WiFi, though they told us that they're currently in discussion with the municipality about installing one. Maybe next year, who knows. 😊

December 10th, 2019 by lucianodeltedesco

Good showers and parrillas. It has good protection for the wind too. The manager is great and very friendly. There's a small store to buy food (empanadas, torta fritas, pizza, beer). No wifi.

November 22nd, 2019 by info

Really nice camp site with sea view and a very nice manager! Cleanest bathrooms we‘ve seen in the last weeks. If you stay for more than one night, you only have the pay the price per person, the price for the camper is charged only once.

November 19th, 2019 by Axel

Nice big place with nice operator. Sanitary facilities are clean and functional. A large grill and table system is available and can also be very good as a windbreak.
Beach is across the street.
Highly recommended!

November 9th, 2019 by Avonturen van Hans en Marleen

Price is now 510 pesos (2p plus car). Hot shower still a trickle.
The penguin colony is a must! A natural setting, more so than Punta Tombo. Great ranger too, very friendly, speaks English.

November 1st, 2019 by loredana.heggen

Very friendly owner. Nice and clean camping space. A lot of good parillas.
Definitely recommended.
No WiFi.

October 23rd, 2019 by inour.element

We decided not to stay here but paid 60 per person for a shower. The showers are not good, low pressure (you have to back against the wall to get wet) and the hot water ran out right away. It was clean. Would rather wild camp than stay here.

April 23rd, 2019 by alalstravels.at

The whole campground including the facilities is exceptionally clean and in very good condition. Large area. Separate sinks for washing laundry and dishes. A whole hallway of toilets & showers.

The site manager Jose (calls himself "el negro") is very kind and helpful: when our van wouldn't start in the morning it took him exactly 5 minutes to organize a qualified mechanic who helped us get on our way.

February 13th, 2019 by gabygcobiello

We arrive around 20h and Jose was at administration. Nice and helpful guy. Hot showers, electricity on site, no WiFi, good bathrooms, a little restaurant with simple food.
We paid 510$ for The first night (2pers and a car), second night $340 They allows pets .

January 20th, 2019 by lisambeka

Good campsite to pitch a tent. There are a lot of areas where you can make a BBQ, electricity, hot water. It is next to the beach and some shops in the neighborhood.
We paid for first night 430 (2people + tent)
Second night 340. There was no WiFi!
In the center the sportcenter (big yellow building next to the bus terminal)has free WiFi.

December 12th, 2018 by A3discoverstheplanet.com

February 28th, 2018 by brigitta

They really made a very nice upgrade of the place (we stayed here during our trip in 2001) - nice people as well, onside restaurant. Windprotection, Poweroutlets.

November 9th, 2017 by betamodiano

Although it looked closed (with piles of sand behind the main gate), there was an entrance 100m after that gate. Bathroom was clean and showers were hot. No wifi or movistar reception, but there's a free internet that you can register to use in front of the city hall (I didn't). Someone came to collect. 100 pesos per person plus 100 for the van.

March 24th, 2017 by freespiritcoelhos

Camp is fully done. Very neat and clean toilets. Cost is 100pp + 150 for motohome(I think it's a one off cost). Too expensive for one night We stayed next to beach with great view for free on way to penguins :)

March 11th, 2017 by talkie-walkie.us

Very expensive for just a campsite. The facilities are clean and well maintained, so it might be worth it to freshen up here. Cost run down : 100 pp for camping, 50 for a tent, cars 100, motorhomes 150, motorcycle 50, showers 30 pp.

We, 2 pers, ended up paying 350 ARS for just one night with our car and tent.

March 3rd, 2017 by avanbeijsterveldt

We had a very nice lunch here on a sunny terrace (salmon with potatoes/salad, 220 pesos)!

December 24th, 2016 by wu-tour.de

December 10th, 2016 by kervinhalvares

Nice place with view on the sea.
The camping will be officially open in January (they are now renovating the site) but you can camp here FOR FREE before the opening!
Tent and motor home friendly.
BBQs and electricity at all places and big bbq site on the middle with roof and table.
New HOT shower and bathroom.
Quiet at night, we recommend this place.
We don't know the future price but we spent two days here for free (10/12/2016)

December 7th, 2016 by shazandfrank.wordpress.com

Definitely open. Everything has recently been repainted. Shower / toilet block is immaculate.

December 3rd, 2016 by ravensjourney

The young lady at the tourist information office sent me here saying there are two official campgrounds in the area: this one and the one at Bahia Secada. One other tent was here when I arrived. No sign of anyone asking for money. Administration office is closed and all furniture missing.

November 23rd, 2016 by rpetersson

Der Campingplatz ist offen, hat Strom und kaltes Wasser. Heiße Duschen gibt es ab Donnerstag bis Sonntag nebenan bei den Publikumstoiletten. Zur Zeit ist er kostenlos.
